Haven't commented at all but have been following this thread. Always good to see what a man can create with some know how and fire in his ass. Nice work CP!

Lots of figuring out last two days. Get everything in and easy to use. Not too mention cheap!
Maximizing cabinet and counter space as well as figuring out what we have to use has been a b****. We know what we need in the woods but getting it all in...
Basic layout of the counter is laid out,sink is directly in front of the window as Ang likes it with room to move around for anything needed.

Is that going to be enough room for you to do the dishes comfortably @CumminsPusher?

I’m building a 30 yo boxvan...do I really seem like a fancy guy?

Use real silicone, take some masking tape, mask off how wide one joint will be both sides, take a bar of soap that is that width, wet it and press until it touches both pieces of tape, leave for 24 hours, pull tape and you have a factory looking caulk line. Don't try to clean up wet silicone!

Bad ass idea with the soap. I do tape seams, for me that comes from my automotive side.

Press the edge of the soap bar firmly against the tape! I saw your caulk job on your roof! HA!

Oh on the roof lmao! Ya it was getting late and I could care less up there. It’s sealed! Double actually with butyl as well. If someone crawls up there to question things I’ll Sparta kick thier ass off.

Learned that from a professional corker about 30 years ago, wonder what I've forgot?

You’ve probably forgot more then many ever knew

I'm sharper than a tack and twice as flat headed! HA!

Hope you didn't lose some aro dynamics with that caulk job, HA!

This rig is like throwing a brick into the wind, don’t think a little dirt that brick will matter.

Another way to skin a cat.
Add a line of silicon caulk.
Spray the area with water, from a spritz bottle like Windex comes in.
Use a cardbord toilet paper roll to scrape off the excess - it collects in the tube and the water keeps the caulk from sticking to unwanted areas.
Rotating the tube as you scrape is effective to prevent too much build-up.

Picked out the Knottiest (I know JTW will love this) wood I could find for countertop. Didn’t have the cash for actual counter top.
My daughter stained it last night.

Then brought down to my shop and sanded about 90 percent off and re stained for depth. Then went for some added flair. Went a tinted burgundy top coat with red pearl added. 5 costs then need to sand and repeat twice more. Should look pretty kick ass when done

That is SWEET!!!!!!
